Nominated for an Emmy based on his work with "Fuller House," Steve Baldikoski ran a Media School bootcamp last weekend, challenging students to work under pressure rewriting a well-known "Friends" episode in real time.

Titled The Disruption Lab: When Scripts Break, the two-day, one-credit course simulated a realistic script table read, complete with manufactured production challenges, providing students with a look at the collaborative nature of a typical TV writers' room.

The seasoned TV writer brought his expertise to Media School students this weekend.

Congratulations to Herman B Wells Endowed Professor (Class of 1950) Radhika Parameswaran, who published a chapter in the sixth edition of “Race/Gender/Class/Media: Considering Diversity Across Audiences, Content, and Producers.”

The chapter explores the rise of Indian Americans in U.S. media over the last three decades, including several prominent journalists.

As Indian Americans gain visibility and influence in U.S. media, their growing presence helps create a more diverse and representative American journalism landscape and challenges stereotypes of Asian Americans as perpetual foreigners and members of the “model minority.”

Her chapter was published in the sixth edition of “Race/Gender/Class/Media: Considering Diversity Across Audiences, Content, and Producers”

Rebekah Arnold, who is majoring in global media, said she appreciates the broad spectrum of academic opportunities available on the Bloomington campus.

When Arnold visited colleges in high school, she knew she wanted to explore journalism and international studies. During a visit on Hamilton Lugar Day, she learned about the new global media major — from the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies and The Media School in the IU College of Arts and Sciences — which allowed her to pursue both of her interests in one program.

“You get some writing, history, political science and current events; you can just do so much with media and international studies,” Arnold said. “From my first visit, I knew that I could explore so many things here.”

IU football kicks off tomorrow, and two Media School students are already getting viewers ready for the season. Junior Grace Lesher and sophomore Andrew Garrison joined the FOX59 Morning News team to talk about what it’s like to cover IU football from two different vantage points.

🔴 Andrew covers the games as a writer for The Hoosier Network, spending games in the press box. He’s still deciding whether his future is in play-by-play broadcasting or sports writing.

Watch the interview to hear how Grace and Andrew are gaining real-world sports media experience while covering one of the biggest stories on campus!

Participants engage in discussions about current research on digital media, take part in guided explorations of museum artworks, and create masks that reflect their own digital identities and experiences.

Learn more about the initiative and sign up for an upcoming workshop, held 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Fridays ⬇️
